About

The New Jersey, USA Branch of Dakshineswar Ramkrishna Sangha Adyapeath (Adyapeath, USA) was established in 1995. This branch extends the vision and ideas of Dakshineswar Ramkrishna Sangha Adyapeath, Kolkata, India (Adyapeath) to the residents of United States of America.

This is how it all started…

In 1994, the General Secretary of Adyapeath, Brahmachari Mural Bhai, came to USA for the first time to spread the blessings of Adya Ma, and talk about its founder, Sree Sree Annada Thakur. During the summer of 1996, he visited New Jersey again. This time he was accompanied by the President of the organization, Brahmachari Siddheswar Bhai (who has since been deceased). They were overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of devotees of Adya Ma. Later that year, Adyapeath approved the formation of its first international branch to be located in New Jersey, USA. On December 7th, 1996, Adyapeath, USA was formed at the temporary address of 296 Savoy Ave, Edison, NJ with twelve members.
